I want filipino food. I want to do the five stages for someone and them to do it for me. I feel like I learned about the culture and traditions making it more interesting. There are emotional aspects with non-queer acceptance, fear, change, etc. Overall, this (arc) version made me smile &, yearn. And I was my feet everyday! Inside joke. But really more people should stop wearing outside shoes inside the house. I hope in the fictional future they delve into discovering Persian culture, go to the Philippines, & travel europe and asia together.

I love this black romance with queer black side character representation. Gave me all the feels. And as a hopeful future dog owner I learned a lot. I want to make biscuits for it too. Not a military fan but was an interesting part of the story. Also love new Orleans references makes me want to visit soon. And I almost thought this book had no smut but there is in fact smut thank the ancestors. It didn't need it but I always enjoy good spice.

I found this book very relatable. Its painful breakups & love crushes I didnt think it was like that until I experienced them. We all want someone to see us & stay. I think this book is such a relatable experience. I'm still trying to figure my life -love life out. But im glad I have this book in my brain now to help me along the way.

I'm listening to women of skin head music and reggae skinhead. This book got me in an angsty mood in the best way. The ending was so normal it just made sense.

The middle and end got interesting for me. I found myself hating James scenes. Because he is a terrible character not because it wasn't well written and graphic and annoyingly poetic being good but annoying because its james. There is so much that happens to the characters that have popped up over the series. I can't imagine how things will develop especially with my all time favorites Charlotte & Mac

I wish this book was longer. It is so cute and made me smile. I love the recipes at the end I cannot wait to make it myself.
